I can volunteer to manage it. However, about the forums, I visited them and found what it seems to me to be spam. The posts are being used to sell merchandise. Anybody knew about this?

The problem has been that if ICANN pays for content management, then it won't be independent, and the consultant who is paid (Jean) will need to pass stuff by the lawyers. If ALAC members update it, we don't have to pass through the legal stuff. So as ICANN hasn't paid for content management, it's been languishing - no one on the committee has had time to manage it. As well, the site never got the traction that it needed to be truly valuable. One major question asked was for the plan to get it to the stage where it is well known and used. The forums were empty, even ALAC members weren't active on them. If anyone is interested in volunteering for this task, please let us know.

It would be interesting to know if the limericks (which I read over at Facebook!) would even be allowed on the official ALAC site. I have to wonder if all the ALS's and the RALOs even know that there is a place for them on icannalac.org. The idea that ALAC originally had was to create a space unfettered by ICANN legal staff that had to vet everything going on the official ALAC site. The independent icannalac site was paid for by At Large. It uses the content management system Mambo and the intent was that ALAC members would take it up where I left off last Dec. When that didn't happen, ALAC submitted a proposal to hire me to do what I had been doing as a member of ALAC, namely, run the ALAC's ALS voting tool and run the independent website. Last I knew, staff had many questions about this and since it's now been over six months, that proposal is probably a dead issue. I have not heard anything since I was copied on the questions. My husband is still under contract to do the Mambo updates and technical aspects of the site, but the site hasn't had any updates since last Dec. Anyone with Mambo skills and interest could take over the editorial side.The idea was that each RALO and each ALS would have author privileges in their own areas of the site. The word is: independent. thanks JP At 3:08 PM +0200 7/2/07, Annette Muehlberg recently said:
Hi Evan,
it was great getting to know you in San Juan. Robin Gross asked about the limericks you guys made.
why not send them out on the at-large list?
would be great to put that on our website too. running our -independent- ALAC website is a real issue - which we did not solve after Jean had to leave (and there are some stories to tell why that is the case...). are you in touch with her?
best annette
